Description Alexander Todorov 2008-03-12 16:04:19 UTC
Description of problem:

Updating  : hsqldb                       ##################### [308/993] 
ln: target `hsqldb.jar' is not a directory
ln: target `servlet.jar' is not a directory


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hsqldb-1.8.0.9-1jpp.2


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHEL 5.1 GA
2. Install hsqldb if not installed (version hsqldb-1.8.0.4-3jpp.4)
3. Update hsqldb (version hsqldb-1.8.0.9-1jpp.2)
  
Actual results:
Updating  : hsqldb                       ##################### [308/993] 
ln: target `hsqldb.jar' is not a directory
ln: target `servlet.jar' is not a directory

Expected results:
ln shouldn't fail

Additional info:

Comment 1 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-12 16:05:45 UTC
New package is installed. I'm not sure if these ln errors impact performance or
functionallity. I don't know what is this package for.

Comment 2 Deepak Bhole 2008-03-12 17:11:21 UTC
A failure of this sort will most likely break (standalone) hsqldb. hsqldb is
used by OpenOffice -- however, I *think* openoffice uses the jar directly (and
is therefore unaffected by the bug).

That said, we need to determine why this is happening. It was not seen locally
when I did the update. Is jpackage-utils installed when this error occurs? I
suspect that a missing BR on jpackage-utils is the culprit...

Comment 3 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-12 17:17:18 UTC
I have jpackage-utils-1.7.3-1jpp.2.el5. yum.log doesn't say this package is
updated so I assume it was there even before the update took place.

Comment 4 Deepak Bhole 2008-03-12 18:59:12 UTC
Hmm, that is odd. What do the following commands output on the machine? :

build-classpath hsqldb
build-classpath servletapi5

Comment 5 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-13 09:36:52 UTC
Both say:
Can't find java virtual machine, aborting.

All installed packages with "java" in the name
$ rpm -qa | grep java
xml-commons-which-javadoc-1.3.02-0.b2.7jpp.10
xmlrpc-javadoc-2.0.1-3jpp.1
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp.112

Comment 6 Deepak Bhole 2008-03-13 17:48:17 UTC
Okay, so build-classpath appears to be broken. I am adding the owner (fitzsim)
of that package to cc.

Can you post the output of:

sh -x build-classpath hsqldb

and

sh -x build-classpath servletapi5

Comment 9 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-14 16:13:31 UTC
assuming you want that executed as normal user:

$ sh -x build-classpath hsqldb
+ '[' -r /usr/share/java-utils/java-functions ']'
+ . /usr/share/java-utils/java-functions
++ _JAVA_HOME=
++ '[' -f /etc/java/java.conf ']'
++ . /etc/java/java.conf
+++ JAVA_LIBDIR=/usr/share/java
+++ JNI_LIBDIR=/usr/lib/java
+++ JVM_ROOT=/usr/lib/jvm
+++ JAVACMD_OPTS=
++ '[' -f /home/alexx/.java/java.conf ']'
++ '[' '!' -z '' -a -d '' ']'
++ '[' -z '' -a -d /usr/lib/jvm/java ']'
++ '[' -z '' -a -d /usr/lib/jvm/jre ']'
+ '[' 1 -eq 0 ']'
+ set_javacmd
+ '[' -x '' ']'
+ set_jvm
+ '[' -n '' ']'
++ which javac
++ :

+ '[' -z '' ']'
++ which java
++ :
+ java=
+ '[' -n '' ']'
+ echo 'Can'\''t find java virtual machine, aborting.'
Can't find java virtual machine, aborting.
+ exit 1

Is it safe to run as root or do you need me to execute that as root?

So far used only oocalc and it works after the upgrade.


Comment 11 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-14 16:27:37 UTC
The 1 exit codes in comment #9 are from the system when 'Sun 1.5.0' java is set.
Switching this to GCJ 1.4.2 I get 0 exit codes. also getting 0 exit code with
IBM 1.4.2 java

Comment 12 Deepak Bhole 2008-03-14 17:59:02 UTC
This bug is outside the scope of hsqldb. Changing to correct component and
re-assigning accordingly.

Can you post the output of:

ls -l /etc/alternatives/

Comment 18 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-03-17 20:16:01 UTC
Can you post the output of the following in the failing case:

ls -ld `readlink -f /usr/lib/jvm/java`
ls -ld `readlink -f /usr/lib/jvm/jre`

which javac
which java

readlink -f `which javac`
readlink -f `which java`

ls -ld `readlink -f /usr/bin/javac`
ls -ld `readlink -f /usr/bin/java`

Do Comment #15 and Comment #17 represent different machines?

No. Same machine but got some packages installed between both comments.

Strange but running again
sh -x build-classpath servletapi5

when Sun 1.5.0 Java is set I got an exit code of 0 and no errors. I'll need to
retest once more the upgrade on a clean install.


Comment 20 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-18 12:48:48 UTC
Looks like hsqldb is not present in 5.1 release but is a new package in 5.2 for
the Client product. I'll need to re-run all tests to verify if there's a bug or
not. Stay tuned.

Comment 23 Alexander Todorov 2008-03-18 16:24:44 UTC
Sorry for the noise, I'm reopening this bug.

Update:
The steps to reproduce in comment #0 should be valid but for RHEL-Client 5.1 GA
not Server. My mistake reporting wrong info because I have both Server and
Client repos enabled.

Some more info from Deepak:
(05:14:14 PM) dbhole: The problem is that build-classpath is failing. This is a
script supplied by jpackage-utils .. and the issue is that the java alternatives
are not being set (when any of the jvms are installed, /usr/lib/jvm/java should
be pointing to the alternatives-selected JVM) ... java alternatives not pointing
/usr/lib/jvm/java is an issue with the jvm package
(05:15:26 PM) dbhole: as for which package to try with.. I would try with all 3.
But I suspect this is going to be one of those edge cases which are triggered
only on clean install or something, because each time a jdk is removed/added,
alternatives are touched, and so if a fresh full install is broken, modifying
jdk might end up automatically fixing it
(05:17:39 PM) dbhole: with regards to this though, I think you should defer to
tom as to what the best test cases would be, because he knows way more about the
alternatives system than I do

I'll test the upgrade use case on fresh 5.1 Client (only) install and then try
to test with all available JVMs in the Client repos.

Thomas,
any advice how to perform the JVM tests wrt dbhole's comments? 

Comment 24 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-03-18 17:50:13 UTC
How are you installing the JDK packages?

Comment 25 Thomas Fitzsimmons 2008-03-18 17:53:50 UTC
I mean: 1) manually, 2) by adding Supplementary channels/packages in Anaconda,
3) through RHN after the initial install

I install the JDK packages by adding the Supplementary repo under
/etc/yum.repos.d after install.

Testing on a fresh install (5.1 install and upgrade to 5.2) couldn't reproduce
the problem. I've tried upgrades while different JVM is selected. 

Thomas, 
can we try testing if all vendors' java packages set the alternatives correctly
as Deepak suggested rather that trying to reproduce the failure with an upgrade?
That may really be a corner issue which is hard to track and reproduce.

It would be really helpful to know the system state when you see the failure. 
Have you been able to reproduce the failure by any means?

As for testing that all vendors' packages set alternatives correctly, you
shouldn't need to reinstall every time to check that.  Just try various
combinations of setting them with alternatives --config.

The only other explanations I can think of are: post/postun install ordering
issues or (even more remotely) a bug in the alternatives tool itself.

The only time I've saw this was during upgrade on a system that had both Client
and Server repos enabled and packages installed from both repos. I was trying to
reproduce after a fresh install but wasn't able to do so. It's hard to know the
state of the original system that experienced the bug because it changes on a
daily basis and includes extra packages from other repos.

Should happen when upgrading with different JVM chosen but I wasn't able to
reproduce as well.

I'm out of ideas already. We'll probably need to close this as non reproducer.
